Dusk Wrote:Money you own in the game has real value. You need levels to experience more content. Quests are mostly worthless, too, but some quests give you money or exp, and you need 800 for the Quest Specialist medal. I like doing quests, as I'm sure you like filling your monster book. But you can't do anything with a level 8 monster book. You can't kill monsters with it. You can't make money with it. You can't play monster card games. There's no monster book rankings. You can't even show it to other people in-game. It's just a personal ambition thing.
You say that about a game that makes you kill monsters so that you can level to kill more monsters...
It's not that different, I think.
In fact, some people level just to be able to get the top cards. Suddenly, everything you mentioned goes below the book. Money, level, gear. Lv 200 people just have their books left, and I believe they won't think of it as worthless.
